6500-YEAR-OLD FILLING
If you’ve ever had a cavity, then you’ve probably gotten a filling. It might surprise you that the oldest filling ever discovered was found in the tooth of a 6,500-year-old human fossil. The bones found belonged to a man, roughly between the ages of 25 and 30, who lived in what is now Slovenia. His fossilized jawbone was some of the oldest bones found in the area and, after discovery, were moved into a museum near Trieste, Italy. No one suspected that they had found anything astonishing until the bones were x-rayed. A large crack and cavity were discovered, both of which were filled with beeswax.The wax filling and the bone were dated to be the same age, proving that the wax was used while the individual was still alive.
We are giving away an all-inclusive, 7-night MEXICAN RIVIERA CRUISE!
Today, filling materials include gold, porcelain, silver amalgam, or tooth-colored plastics. It’s incredible to think that this dental practice was used over 6,500 years ago.
